General FAQs On Our Services
1. Why do you engage external decorators and floral designers?
We are first and foremost, wedding planners. Clients who engage our services benefit from our dynamic working relationships with a strong network of vendors and our experience in the industry. By focusing on the consultancy area of wedding, it allows us to remain neutral in our views and pragmatic in one of our roles as a 'quality officer'.
While creativity is a significant trade of every floral designer, each of them will also have their trademark signatures. By working with professionals who specialise in their respective areas, it offers our clients a varying degree of floral creativity and innovative workmanship, who each has his/her own artistic and stylistic trademarks.
2. Some service providers can offer us complimentary wedding planning and coordination services if we engage their services. How are their services different from your service?
Then, you will have to ask yourself how these companies stay in business if they are not charging you for their services. Secondly, if they are already good in their primary area of business, would there be a need to provide complimentary service?
3. What are the key points to consider when looking around for a wedding planner?
- Fee structure, contract outline and the fine prints. Be wary of planners who charge way below market price and those who do not have a clear outline of terms and conditions in their contract.
- Chemistry between you and the planner. You'll be working with your planner for the next 6 months or more, so the ability to connect with one another is very important.
- A planner with a good balance of education, experience and personality.
- In touch with current trends, industry news and a good sense of style.
- Good testimonials, referrals from previous clients or other vendors in the industry.
- Areas of expertise. Be wary of one-stop centres who offer you all -in-one service. Ultimately, you'd want a planner who should only have your best interest in mind. If they are also offering photography, videography, entertainment, decoration and more, how sure would you be that they would be willing to work with your preferred list of vendors?
FAQs For Destination Weddings Or Planning From Abroad
1. How do you work with couples planning from abroad?
We start by identifying your priorities and gauge your styles through an initial consultation which can be arranged through a teleconference call, Skype or MSN. Once we've clearly understood your expectations, we'll work on the timeline, budget breakdown, itinerary and all the necessary legwork. The on-going work will involve sketches, moodboards and visual representation of space, ideas and styles. For couples who would also want to custom-make their attire (e.g. gowns, suits) in Malaysia, we would advise you to arrange for a trip back at least once during the planning duration so that the designer and/or tailor can obtain a proper measurement. Please contact us for further details.
2. How early should we start planning?
Destination weddings take considerable planning and research, and the best properties and accommodations are often booked far in advance of the wedding date. The earlier you begin planning your wedding, the greater the likelihood you will be able to book the most ideal wedding location for you and your guests. We advise 9 - 12 months in advance.
3. Who are your vendors?
We only work with the very best of local service providers to customise your wedding event. Every detail and touch matters to them as much as they matter to us, as the vendors we work with take much pride in the quality of their products and services and our collective ideas and effort contribute greatly to the overall success of your wedding. Please contact us for further details.
4. Do you also handle the logistics of our guests' travel itinerary?
With us to help you co-ordinate the accommodation, transfers and transportation of your guests, you can take the worries off your shoulders and simply concentrate on being beautiful for your wedding. We will assist you with the itinerary planning and ensure that you and all your guests are 'well fed', entertained and occupied with activities that can include sight-seeing, shopping, spa, adventure and much more.
5. Registration of Marriage in Malaysia:
a) We're both Malaysians living abroad.
b) We're both non-citizens and we want a civil ceremony.
c) I'm a Malaysian, and my fiance is British/French/Taiwanese/Australian/Singaporean/American/etc.
Legalities, documents required and administrative technicalities. We will assist you in handling the paperworks for a legally binding marriage in Malaysia. Non-Malaysian citizens will be required to stay a minimum of 21 days OR 7 days from the last date of entry into Malaysia with an express license.
6. How much should we budget for our wedding?
The cost of hosting a destination wedding in Malaysia depends entirely on the venue (e.g. 5-star hotel, Langkawi Island), size of your guests list and the extravagance of your budget allocation for each item in your wedding. In fact, destination weddings are sometimes less expensive than a wedding in your home country. Before you begin planning, first determine how much you've put aside and how much you are willing to spend on your destination wedding. The Peak Xperience will work with you from there to delineate the less important expenses from the necessities.
Similarly, for destination weddings out of Malaysia, the budget depends entirely on the destination, size of your guestslist and so forth. Please contact us for an initial discussion so that we can iron out the finer details.
